Apoptosis is crucial in regulating many aspects of the reproductive system. Since mitogen-activated-protein-kinases (MAPKs) and phosphatidylinositol-3′-kinase (PI3K)-dependent signaling systems play important roles in apoptosis regulation, we undertook to study their involvement in the induction of apoptosis in the reproductive system.Two pro-apoptotic stimulants were investigated in two corresponding cell lines. One of them was prostaglandin F2&#9...
